With many businesses closed, there were an increasing number of ‘Snow Days’ declared today, including at the University of Winchester! I headed off for a walk to Oram’s Arbour to see whether people were having fun in the snow – and they surely had been and still were – snowman, sledging and even a form of snowboarding were going on!

In 2005, I went to Saas-Fee with Oak Hall, for a full-on week of skiing – it was my birthday that week also, so great fun! I won the ‘Wipeout Award’ twice – I’m not sure if that’s anything to be proud of or not, but I always think if you don’t fall over, you’re not trying hard enough!
Here’s a 10 second video, on an early digital camera, of my first go at the snow bumps – amazingly I got over them all… you can just see me wiping out right at the end.. but I had been told to parallel into the bumps (this was only my 3rd ever week of skiing) – afterwards someone said if you snowplough into them, it’s more controllable!
